Beach Boys Musical announced. "Surf The Musical"

[The Shift]

You guys are all missing the main point here:

A fabulous company of sun-tanned [/i]dancers and singers will rock the audience ...

Sun-tans, see? Ere in Yorkshire they're a mark of wealth, success and good taste - not everyone can afford a fortnight in Torromolinos

No need for extravangant hols anymore when you can buy sun-tans in bottles now, just don't stack them next to the Guiness (like my late Granny did)

Wonderful… but I hope it weren't the lotion what did it?

[endofposts]

Adrian Zmed is in the cast? He must be the star attraction.  I guess they couldn't get Eddie Mekka to do the old guy part. 

[Mike Lovechild]

What we all really want to know is wlll the film include 'Hey Little Tomboy' and 'I Wanna Pick You Up', sung by the creepy uncle to the kids he's babysitting before they're rescued by the Pied Piper and taken on a Steamboat to Pallisades Park?

[Rocker]

BTW is this the musical Stamos was planning ?

[hypehat]

I was under the impression Stamos was planning a movie musical, not this monstrosity

[Aegir]

the jukebox musical fad has got to end.

[Melt Away]

Sounds horrifying. How about "Love You" the musical featuring depressed cokeheads as they scrounge the venue floor for the roach someone dropped. Seriously, the whole "Surf" bullshit that the mindless public has forever associated with the BB's is disgusting. Why won't they attempt to play some deep cuts and not harp on the paradise island nonsense, should of known.

[punkinhead]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[PongHit]

Check out the cast with some of the character names.
Rhonda....check
Caroline...check

I think the other stage show had a "Marcella."

[PongHit]

Shoot me now.

In part because the Beach Boys themselves ALWAYS end up pushing that image on the public.

One night of the tour they look cool. The next Bruce is wearing an ultra bad shirt.

TWGMTR sounds pretty good, and then we hear what Spring Vacation is all about.

I love most of the early stuff as much as the later stuff, but let's not kid ourselves, they have only themselves to blame. And with this last chance of an album coming out the fact that ANYONE among anybody's camp would allow the lyrics to SV appear on the record, tells you all you need to know.

[guitarfool2002]

Yeah, I do (do I?) remember the cast of that earlier musical appeared on a morning show, was it the Today show? And do I remember Mike and Bruce there with them? It's been awhile, I can't remember. But this BB's musical idea has been around so long, I don't know how much more they could re-jigger to get one which has a successful run.

There are some successes - Jersey Boys being the most obvious, and Green Day also staged one and as far as I know it made money. People who saw both of them liked them.

6 Degrees Of The Beach Boys trivia note here:

Adrian Zmed was rookie officer Romano on the TV cop show TJ Hooker with Shatner. And, as we know, The Beach Boys made a guest appearance on that show in an episode where people were robbing the box offices and ticket windows of the cash during the concerts. I think Carl announced from the stage that TJ Hooker was an "old friend" of the band.

Classic 80's TV, I was a fan. Heather Locklear.

Wow. This is one of those cotton-wooly hazy blurry-lens memories that one carries through one's life but can't get a hold of... If not one of my earliest memories period, it's certainly my earliest Beach Boys-related memory. I kept guessing the TV show was CHiPs, but repeated trawls through episode guides left me frustrated. Now I know the truth. (Damn, why did I not think to just ask this board the question all this time? Duh.)

Oh, and obviously, YES to Heather Locklear. Give me some Heather and/or Randi Oakes in a uniform! Sweet childhood memories come of age right here on this board.

when i read the title of this thread  my first thought..."just shoot me"... i see i am not the only one with that opinion.

That may have been the "in" that Adrian had to get the part. A vague BB connection.  They had to get some kind of name that people might recognize, even barely.  This looks so bad, with characters named Rip and Doogie.  I read that one of the producers has said they're hoping for a year's run, at least.  Ticket sales are only through August so they're covering themselves in case it bombs.  Which it should.

IIRC only Carl made a guest appearance. The other Beach Boys video was taken from the Washington '80 (?) concert

[Pretty Funky]

Can I propose a meet-up of us smileysmiler mockers in Vegas on June 11 2013 if the musical is still running?

I will get in contact with Mike Love and arrange a suitable number of used hats for us to dine on while watching the show!


edit.

Still some GV Musical clips on Youtube for those interested.

Very cool! This episode came back to me as well a few years ago, whenever A&E was running the TJ Hooker series, I guess before the DVD's came out. I came home really late on night, couldn't sleep, and started going through the channels - and there was the TJ Hooker-Beach Boys episode! I couldn't believe it, it was also a memory-nostalgia trigger for me because I watched that show every week back in the day. It was neat to see it again, especially with the Beach Boys connection.

So when the name Adrian Zmed was mentioned in yet another Beach Boys related thing, it definitely was more than coincidence.

But I'm thinking the touring, reunited Beach Boys still have time to invite Heather Locklear on stage for the California Girls bikini routine....

[Disney Boy (1985)]

This sounds staggeringly appalling! We Will Rock You, Mama Mia, etc may be massively popular - they're also dreadful. This will only do the Beach Boys reputation as a serious pop/rock band damage. Fingers crossed it flops instantly and disappears without trace.

[AndrewHickey]

I'm sure it will be exactly as successful as the Monkees musical that started last month. Or the film of Sgt Pepper.

Just a shame that the BBs musical Sean Macreavy was trying to do a decade or so ago never happened. That could have actually been good.

Yeah man, you bring the steaks.
